- Genre: Epic Fantasy
Description
As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise—demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity.
For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards—symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night.

Reviews
Not what I expected
1By RedforemanzfootTo be fair the author is a decent writer who creates a feasible world. I downloaded the book after reading the 2 chapter sample. Unfortunately, soon after I had to read about a 12 year old girl talk about ‘flowering’ too many times and for far too long. Had to stop reading.Good but…
4By AssassinTurkeythe author has an impregnation fetish which gets a little old after a while😅Fantastic
3By Jeremy #693/5 stars wouldn’t change a thing it’s a great book!Thoroughly Enjoyed!
5By TrufflusciousI picked up this book at a family member’s house. I liked the idea about the demons so I ended up buying myself a copy. I like the premise, although I’m wary of what the book is trying to be, what with so many characters, political and religious ideas and the such, but regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of Arlen, Leesha and Rojer.Amazing
5By King6790I have no words it was an awesome book great story great characters. Though personally I felt Leesha was slightly slow/uninteresting I wouldn’t say boring but not as Interesting as Arlen. Would highly recomendable this series to everyone.Great
5By Coltsrock924Trust me it’s a great read, that has many elements that come all together at the end. I highly recommend it, but the rest of the books aren’t even close to the first. The second and third are good, and the 4th one is okay, but the last one wasn’t that good. I could bring myself to even finish the last one. But the first is great!!An average Fantasy book
3By Scrub KaiGenerally an Ok book, but nothing special.Waste of time
1By Dong NamaI don't suppose this review will help, as it was reviews here that recommended this book to me. The story is unoriginal and predictable, and the writing is as thin as the plot line. Don't waste your time.Yes
5By Cannsz005Hey, person scrolling through the reviews to see if this book is worth your time. Believe it or not, I was you not more than a few weeks ago, wondering if this book was worth the read. Guess what, it 100% is. Admittedly a little slow at the beginning, but after that the book flows. Towards the end I couldn't put it down. Signed, Future yourefreshing!
5By Susie899I found it different enough to be enjoyable. I think Peter is a talented fella.
